What is the first step to finding the volume of the cylinder?
A. Use the diameter to find the radius of the cylinder
OB. Find the product of the diameter and the height
OC. Find the sum of the diameter and the height
OD. Use the diameter to find the area of the cylinder.
The volume of the cylinder is
angwer in terms of

Answer 1

A) Use the diameter to find the radius of the cylinder

V = 235.5

Steps:

Since radius is 1/2 of the diameter, 5/2 equals 2.5

r=2.5

Once all the components are identified, the formula to fit the cylinder is
`\pi r^(2)(h)`

3.14(2.5)^2 (12)

3.14(6.25)(12)

235.5 is the volume
